[Intro | whispered, distant, fragile]
I still taste sugar in the smoke, Still see your shadow in the glow. Every road I took alone Found a way to lead me home.
[Verse 1 | intimate, hypnotic]
I trace the headlights through the haze, through the haze
I count the halos in the rain, in the rain
I chase the static in your name, in your name
I wear the silence like a chain, like a chain
I taste the copper on my tongue, on my tongue
I feel the current in my blood, in my blood
I keep the fever in my lungs, in my lungs
I let the midnight come undone, come undone
[Pre-Chorus | building]
Every doorway, every street, Every ghost I chance to meet, Carries fragments, carries heat, Carries echoes of your feet.
Every shadow, every sign, Every faultline in my mind, Pulls me backward through the tide, Pulls me under every time.
[Chorus | soaring]
You left caramel in my bloodstream, Sweet enough to make me bleed. Every promise, every memory, Growing where I planted grief.
And I know, I know, The fire's gone but I still feel the heat.
You left caramel in my bloodstream, Now everything tastes bittersweet.
[Post-Chorus | layered harmonies]
Bittersweet... Bittersweet...
Everything tastes bittersweet.
[Verse 2 | groove enters]
I watch the shadows stretch and sway, stretch and sway
I hear the sirens fade away, fade away
I keep the wreckage on display, on display
I let the colors slowly fray, slowly fray
I pull the splinters from the spark, from the spark
I map the constellations dark, in the dark
I carve your absence in the bark, in the bark
I leave my prayers beside the mark, by the mark
[Pre-Chorus | larger]
Every signal, every flare, Every fracture in the air, Leaves a little of you there, Leaves a little everywhere.
Every heartbeat out of time, Every reason, every lie, Still returning with the tide, Still refusing to subside.
[Chorus | larger, cinematic]
You left caramel in my bloodstream, Sweet enough to make me bleed. Every promise, every memory, Growing where I planted grief.
And I know, I know, The fire's gone but I still feel the heat.
You left caramel in my bloodstream, Now everything tastes bittersweet.
[Bridge | atmospheric mantra]
Maybe I was chasing light, Maybe I was feeding fire, Maybe I confused desire, For something higher.
Maybe I was chasing light, Maybe I was feeding fire, Maybe I confused desire, For something higher.
Maybe I was chasing light, Maybe I was feeding fire, Maybe I confused desire, For something higher.
[Build | drums intensify]
If I call your name tonight, Will the silence answer back? Will the embers reignite? Will the darkness finally crack?
If I call your name tonight, Will the distance let you through? Or am I just another ghost Still reaching out for you?
[Breakdown | screamed]
I'M STILL CHASING THE AFTERGLOW!
STILL CHASING! STILL CHASING!
EVERY MEMORY IS A MIRROR! EVERY MIRROR IS A KNIFE!
STILL CHASING! STILL CHASING!
I LET THE SWEETNESS LIVE TOO LONG!
I LET THE SWEETNESS LIVE TOO LONG!
[Final Chorus | massive, cathartic]
You left caramel in my bloodstream, But the poison's wearing thin. I've been learning how to breathe Without the shape you left within.
And I know, I know, Some scars remain but they don't define me.
You left caramel in my bloodstream, But it isn't all that's inside me.
[Outro | stripped back piano, music box]
The rain retreats into the night, The neon flickers out of sight.
Your name grows quiet in my chest, Your ghost finally gets some rest.
Bittersweet... Bittersweet...
Everything was bittersweet.
[End]
